3. Other Asset On September 13, 1999 the Company entered into a uranium concentrates sale and put option agreement with a third party. The Company transferred 400,000 pounds U(3)O(8) at a purchase price of $10.80 per pound U(3)O(8) under this agreement giving the third party the option to put up to an equivalent quantity to the Company at $10.55 per pound U(3)O(8) at any one time within the period beginning October 1, 2001 and ending March 1, 2003. The transaction was accounted for as a deferred credit and the value of the inventory that could be put to the Company upon exercise of the put option was reclassified as an other asset. A $1,000,000 bond (Note 2) secures a portion of the transaction. 4. Provisions for Reclamation Estimated future decommissioning and reclamation costs of the Mill and U.S. mining properties are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001, $12,350,157 was accrued for reclamation costs. The Company has posted bonds in the amount of $11,488,175 in favor of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the applicable state regulatory agencies as partial security for these liabilities and has deposited cash and fixed income securities on account of these obligations (Note 2). Elements of uncertainty in estimating reclamation and decommissioning costs include potential changes in regulatory requirements, decommissioning and reclamation alternatives and the scope of reclamation activities. Actual costs will differ from those estimated and such differences may be material.
